Baylor University’s Tuition Remission Program enables the employee, their spouse, and children to benefit from the many educational opportunities offered by the university. The tuition remission benefit is available for undergraduate and/or graduate level courses; however, it does not cover audit classes, doctoral classes or extra fees, such as lab fees, late fees or room and board.

Full-time regular faculty/staff can receive a 100 percent tuition remission benefit for 2 courses, no more than 8 hours, during any semester that would apply to an undergraduate and/or graduate degree.

The University manages its tuition remission plan in accordance with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations. Tuition remission benefits at an undergraduate level are not taxable. Taxable tuition remission will be allocated over the employee’s remaining pay periods in the calendar year.

Baylor University provides tuition reimbursement for job-related courses taken by regular employees at other colleges and universities. Job-related tuition reimbursement encourages self-improvement for employees by providing opportunities to improve skills performed in their present position and to enable employees to remain current in their specific areas of technology or responsibility; the program is not intended to provide reimbursement for an entire degree plan.

To apply, present a completed application for participation in the Job-Related Tuition Reimbursement Program to the budget department head for approval. The employee will then present the approved application, with the following items, to Human Resources:
